2026 OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational

Jim McIlvaine

The 19th edition of OPTIMA's Ultimate Street Car Invitational (OUSCI) began at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, where the Southern Roofing Autocross, Falken Tire Road Course Time Trial and Road Rally were held on the weekend before the SEMA Show. From there, competitors migrated to OPTIMA Unleashed in the lot South of South Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center, where the Gearhead Classics Design & Engineering Challenge and Peak Performance Challenge were held. 

When the rubber dust settled (and there was A LOT of it to settle!), Chris Smith's 1970 Camaro emerged as the OUSCI champion. See the final results below (and more detailed results here) as well as a huge photo gallery from this iconic event.
